 Ugljevik - mine and thermo power plan (M&TPP) located in North-East part of Bosnia and Herzegovina - M&TPP
Ugljevik is only 30 km far from international border with Croatia and
25 km from Serbia. There are settlements very close to the M &TPP,
and the most inhabited place, with some 5,000 residents, is Ugljevik.
Wastewaters at the M&TPP are discharged into the Janja and Mezgraja
Rivers, whose waters are used to irrigate orchards and crops, as well
as to water livestock. Janja and Mezgraja rivers are tributaries of
Drina River that belong to Sava and Danube water basin. A significant
amount of water with high concentration of salts is continuously
discharged into the river Janja. Such pollution has enormous negative
effects locally and regionally.
The proposed intervention under
this programme would be focused on reconstruction and renewal of
systems for de-mineralization and de-carbonization, as well as for
remediation of discharge site. Application of new technology together
with reconstruction of present technological process will result in
overall decrease of 35-40% in the quantity of wastewater that
originates from demineralization and de-carbonization process. Most
important result would be the overall decrease of produced wastewater
in the amount of 17.000m3/year and amount of discharged salts in the
river would be decreased for 45 tons/year.

 Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina - The
area of Tuzla municipality is one of the most polluted areas in
B&H, especially in three following segments:
- worst air quality
- due to emissions from thermo power plant, industrial heat production
facilities and individual heating systems;
- most polluted water
streams - due to enormous discharge of waste waters; and
-
significant areas with degraded soil - due to uncontrolled exploitation
of coal, salt and quark sand.
According to available data,
pollutions from industrial heat production facilities and individual
heating systems are the second major pollutant in the area. Air quality
in urban part of Tuzla during heating season is mostly II and III
category (polluted or very polluted air), and very often there are
episodes of critical air pollution especially with sulphur dioxide with
concentration of 400 μg/m³, which is 3-4 times more than maximum
allowed amount.
The proposed intervention under this programme would enable the
Clinical Medical Centre Tuzla and its Clinic for Lung Diseases to be
connected to the Tuzla city district heating system. This would enable
the two Centres to cease producing heat in their facilities and
creating the air pollution by combusting large amounts of dark coal,
which contains large percentage of particularly dangerous sulphur.
